New carry-on regulations for Australians travelling overseas

Travelers departing ex Australia to any overseas destination (including Fiji) may now only carry trial-size toiletries (100ml or less) on board the aircraft, which can be purchased at any chemist.

Toiletries must fit comfortably in one (no larger than 18 x18cm) clear plastic zip-top bag. The zip-top bag may need to be presented separately at airport security so make sure it is easily accessible when you approach the screening area.

Additionally, beverages or toiletries purchased inside the airport beyond the security checkpoints will not be allowed onboard the aircraft.

Some items greater than 100ml and/or not contained in a zip-top bag may be allowed on board. These items include baby formula, milk (to include breast milk), baby food, juice, medications and liquids/gels that are needed for medical conditions can be taken on board but proof of prescription may be required.

For visitors to Fiji, please note that zip-top bags are very difficult to find there, so you may like to pack a couple of spares for your reverse journey back to Australia after your Fiji holiday !
